The Functional Muscle Manipulation Difference
The FMM could be called “Deep Tissue 2.0”
What is the difference of the Functional Muscle Manipulation to Deep Tissue?
Deep Tissue | Functional Muscle Manipulation |
“Knots”: either scar tissue or hardened muscle caused by physical trauma and “wear and tear”. | “Muscle Spasms”: well-functioning muscles commanded by the sympathetic N.S. to stay contracted. A misguided defense mechanism. |
“Break” knots or try to soften up the hardened “material” by force. | Negotiate with the sympathetic N.S. to release the muscles. |
Depending on amount of pressure either hurts a lot or doesn’t go deep. | Pressure constantly adjusting. Dialog with the body. The body opens up and allows much deeper work. No pain. |
Patient struggles to survive the intrusion and involuntarily fight back. | Patient becomes physically aware and find that they can consciously release those spasmed muscles. |
Poor results, dependency on long term therapy. “Never enough” | Chronic problems related to involuntary contraction and nerve irritation (headaches, migraines, sciatica, tennis elbow etc) are solved completely, therapy ends and results last. |
Results last a couple days, during which there is also local pain. | Patient becomes aware of their body’s reaction to challenges as it happens. They learn to override that reaction and release the tension by themselves. Results can last for years. |
